Almost Hooting There!

Hey, folks! How've you guys been? Everything's pretty quiet here. The World Cup final is a couple of days away and I cannot WAIT for it to be over! It really feels like it's been going on forever. I look forward to going through an entire day without anyone saying a word about a goal, a player, a dive, an injury, a penalty, a foul... My husband is a huge sports fan, so the year is a revolving door of basketball, soccer, and American football. God help me.

I've stitched in the blue, yellow, and purple on the two remaining houses, the two yellow moons, and finished the orange border. At this rate, I should be done with this front half of the biscornu this week! And then maybe I'll actually remember to iron the thing...

I have been reminded by a couple of people's blogs that I need to be working on Mii Stitch's Tutti Frutti exchange. I'll be scouring Pinterest for ideas!

Stitching Friends

Methinks it is a token of healthy and gentle characteristics, when women of high thoughts and accomplishments love to sew; especially as they are never more at home with their own hearts than while so occupied.

~Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Marble Faun, 1859
